Sailing Sailing Lyrics

Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main;

For many a stormy wind shall blow, ere Jack comes home again!

Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main;

For many a stormy wind shall blow ere Jack comes home again.

The sailor's life is bold and free,

His home is on the rolling sea;

And never heart more true or brave,

Than his who launches on the wave;

Afar he speeds in distant climes to roam,

With a jocund song he rides the sparkling foam.

Then here's to the sailor, and here's to the heart's so true,

Who will think of him upon the waters blue!
